  6. I love this. I always imagine that my Chihuahua reads books with a manacle, while wearing a smoking jacket and ascot while I'm gone. I would love to bring that to life in the spirit of this painting!

  9. My husband and I have two monkey portraits in our dining room. They are a bit ridiculous especially with the fancy frames we have put them in. My husband bought them off of ebay.

    Tiffany not only explored the various jewelry processes of the time, Silver Tiffanybut also branched out into new metals, such as platinum, Tiffany Jewelrywhich at the time was considered very hard to manipulate.Tiffany BraceletsIt seems to be the case that unusual colorations appealed to Tiffany, like the opal.He also preferred gemstones that were either opaque or translucent. Tiffany EarringsTurquoise, jade, carnelian, lapis, moonstones, and opals were all chosen for their ability to filter light. Tiffany NecklacesEmphasis based on color was very prevalent in his works.
